Is it really a good thing to be recognise in work?? I bet so, at least for me, I find total satisfaction in getting the due recognition for all the hard work that I had put in.
But unfortunately in this place that I am working in, everyone seems to be too happy to task knowing that I am able to deliver at the end of the day.. But it seems that it is getting too much for me to handle to the extent that I have to sacrifice quality time with my partner.. Coincidentally, work seems to get heavier everytime she gets pregnant.. I am so fortunate to have her as my pillar of support during my ups and downs… but I am not always there for her during her times where she has to bear the pain of pregnancy.
Technology has dictate the pace of work.. Incredibly, my inbox is always been infested with hundreds of emails each day.. Yes, its over a hundred each day.. As I was driving home leaving 156 emails unread, I work out simple maths in my head, all it takes is 1 min to read, 1 min to internalise and 2 mins to reply, it will still take more than 600mins to finish it..thats a whopping 10hrs doing nothing but just clearing emails. Even if I take half the time, it is still worth more than 5 hrs… and this is on top of all the work I need to prepare for meetings, attending meetings and post meetings follow-ups..
As I always preach to my subordinates, take in whatever you think you can cope.. If you insist to put 10 eggs in my 5 eggs basket, sooner or later, 5 eggs will break.. I am living on a time-bomb everyday..
